Boycott Schweddy Balls!!!!

Remember the ice cream I posted about...oh a week or so ago? Well apparently it's extremely offensive:

Parents call for boycott of Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls flavor

Ben & Jerry's

By Vidya Rao

Schweddy Balls ice cream is the latest in frozen threats facing your children, at least according to One Million Moms. The conservative organization, an offshoot of American Family Association, has called for a boycott of the newest Ben & Jerry's flavor because they find it offensive.

"The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive," the group posted on its website. "Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket."

The flavor is named after the classic Alec Baldwin sketch on "Saturday Night Live," in which he plays a bakery owner named Pete Schweddy. The most famous line (and the one most often repeated by drunk frat boys) is his end note: "No one can resist my Schweddy Balls."

Clearly there is a double entendre here, but is it really worth protesting vanilla ice cream with rum and fudge-covered malt balls? After all, Trix may be for kids, but rum ice cream is for the rest of us.

My response to that was to suggest to Ben & Jerry that they come out with a new flavour called 'Censor Chip' --bland, with vanilla chips... maybe with one of the balls from the other flavour hidden in each container.

AWESOME. i will try them at least once. if people are that worried about censorship they need to lock their kids in a bubble and not let them watch tv EVER. there is a ton worse stuff out there in everyday tv. this is for adults. what do they want them to do? only sell it after 8pm? BOGUS.
